Three research associate positions in machine learning / deep learning are available within a EU-funded project. The positions are offered for about 2 years (until December 2020), at the Romanian Institute of Science and Technology (RIST) in Cluj, Romania. Applications will be assessed on a rolling basis and the starting date may be as soon as the selected candidates are available.

4. Applied research on machine learning systems that are trained on large repositories of web pages and learn to generate HTML / CSS or similar code. This should lead to systems that automatically upgrade websites or to systems that learn to generate web pages with a state-of-the-art design conditioned on mockups drawn by clients.

We are looking for self-motivated, independent, creative scientists, with strong analytical and computational modeling skills. A PhD is preferred but we also accept candidates with a Master degree and research experience proven by scientific publications or relevant completed projects. Candidates could have a background in machine learning, physics, computer science, robotics, engineering, computational neuroscience, applied mathematics or related fields. We welcome candidates with no prior experience in machine learning but with a strong publication record. Programming skills are required.

To apply, send to dci@rist.ro your CV, including a list of publications (indicating your 3 most representative publications, if you have more than this) and the names and contact details of at least two references. Please mention the topics you are interested in.

The gross salary is in the range of 2,700-4,000 euros per month (net salary: 1,800-2,600 euros) for PhDs and of 2,000-3,600 euros per month (net salary: 1,300-2,300 euros) for persons with no PhD, depending on experience. The cost of living in Cluj is significantly lower than in Western Europe or the USA (e.g., it is 1/3 of the cost of living in London, UK). The working language is English.
